Application filed November 1, 1905- Serial NO- 285.473-

.To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FANNIE WoLF, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Garment-Rack, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in racks for displaying cloaks and other garments, the object being to rovide a rack of simple and novel construction on which the garments can be suspended and displayed to customers to the best advantage.

I will describe a garment-rack embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accom anying drawings, forming a part of this s eci cation, in which similar characters of re erence indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a garment- Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof. Figs. 3 and 4 are sections, respectively, on the lines 3 3 and 4 4 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 is a sectional detail showing a modification in arm-supporting means.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates a standard supported on suitable legs, and mounted to rotate on the standard is a hub 6, from which spokes 7 extend outward to connection with a rim 8, consisting of any suitable material-such, for instance, as tubular metal and the spokes 7 may also consist of tubular metal for the sake of lightness and strength. Mounted to swing on the hub 6 are arms 9, on which the garments to be dis played are hung. As here shown, the inner ends of the arms 9 are provided with hook portions 10 for engaging in eyes 11, engaged in the hub, and the several arms are supported from the rim 8 by means of hooks 12, mounted to slide on the rim and having stem portions 13, which pass through slots 14, formed in the tubular arms and connected with blocks 15 slidable in the arms. By this arrangement the arms may be swung laterally to disclose cloaks or the like supported on the opposite sides of the arms. The garments are supported on the arms by means of buttons 16, attached to the outer ends of the arms, and buttons 17, attached to the inner ends thereof. By placing the buttons at the inner an outer ends of the arms it is obvious that the garments may be spread out to clearly show the same. Each arm may also have opposite buttons 18 at about its center, to which ordinary garment-hangers may be attached. This, however, is not necessary for my invention. By rotatably mounting the hub 6 on the standard the rack may be readily turned by a erson standing at one side thereof, so as to s low the various cloaks suspended from the rack.

Instead of the hooks 12 I may employ rollers 19, as shown in Fig. 5, which engage upon the rim 8 and are connected to the blocks 15 by hangers 20. This construction, however, is ractically a hook.

Having t us described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A garment-rack comprising a standard, a hub on the standard, a rim carried by the hub, arms pivotally connected to the hub, and devices having slidable connection with the rim, and with which the arms have slidable connection.

2. A garment-rack comprising a standard, a hub mounted to rotate thereon, a rim carried by the hub, tubular arms having swinging connection With the hub, the said arms being provided at the upper sides with longitudinal slots, hooks arranged to slide on the rim, blocks slidable in the arms, and con nections between the said blocks and hooks, tile said connections passing through said s ots.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.-

FANNIE WOLF.
